Keith Harding

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Keith Harding (* 1938 ) is a Scottish politician.

Harding attended Chipping Norton Grammar School and studied in Oxford . He then worked in banking. In 1986 he was elected to the council of Stirling , which he remained until 2003 and was finally replaced by his wife. In the first general election for the newly created Scottish Parliament , Harding was put on the first list of the Conservative Party for the electoral region Mid Scotland and Fife , but did not run as a candidate in any of the constituencies. On the basis of the election results, he entered parliament as one of three candidates for the Conservative Party. When the new election lists for the 2003 parliamentary elections were published , Harding was only in the hopeless fifth place on the list, which is why he switched from the Conservative Party to the Scottish People's Alliance after more than 20 years of membership . For this party he stood in the general election in 2003 both as a direct candidate for the constituency of Stirling and on the first list for Mid Scotland and Fife. In the constituency of Stirling, Harding received by far the fewest votes of the six candidates, the party had no chance in Mid Scotland and Fife with 0.48% of the votes cast.
